How to choose Anglicare as your support provider?

You must first contact My Aged Care or the Department of Veteran Affairs to be assessed. When it is approved and they have outlined your funded supports then you can select Anglicare Tasmania as your support provider.

What's Next?

Be assessed

The first step is to contact My Aged Care (CHSP) or the Department of Veteran Affairs (VHC) to be assessed and approved for home support services.

For CHSP, you can apply for an online assessment or ring My Aged Care on 1800 200 422.

For VHC, you need to ring the VHC Assessment Agency on 1800 838 372.

Choose your service provider

Once your funding is approved and your services outlined you can tell the assessment team your preferred provider’s.

However, who you choose will depend on suppliers range of services provided and their capacity to take on more clients at that time. This information can be found on the My Aged Care website for CHSP or when speaking with your VHC assessor.

Once you have decided they will then send your referral to your preferred provider’s, such as Anglicare Tasmania.
